Lechmere Station is about to become history. Any1 with a camera, please document every inch of that area. Once it is gone...it's gone forever! ... Just like North Station & Sullivan Square.
@zyzlnwh Oops! Correcting myself, you are right. There will be an extention beond Lechmere, but the MBTA will re-locate Lechmere. Actually, as of now, I think the old Lechmere is now closed for good.
Since they knocked down the Washington st El this is the only elevated right of way left in Boston (not counting Charles/MGH). They better leave it alone!
I really hope it stays (or gets extended) when/if they extend the green line to Medford. The view is so nice with a skyline of Boston out one side and parks, Bunker hill, and the Zakem bridge out the other side.

That fare box looks very much like the fare boxes in the buses.

The new tunnel connector is interesting. The last time I took the Green Line, The old EL was still there!
I was quite confused the last time I came out of North Station and had to take the Orange Line.
It will be very interesting to see what comes of the Medford extension should that happen.
